I have done CoolSculpting on my abdomen (both upper and lower) April 1st (6 weeks ago). Bloating was noticeable from 2nd week post treatment. I am still very bloated and I feel like I am getting bigger and bigger on my abdomen.
I look like "B" shape from side look. My weight is the same but I look like a pregnant person! It is awful to see myself like this :( Is this normal to be still bloated 6 weeks post treatment and the bloating not even reducing?! Am I ruined my body?

Have you noticed a change in bowel movement or gas.

That could be a rare but known effect of the treatment. Contact your doctor.

I don't feel something hardened in my stomach (like PAH that scientist refer to)....but any other guess what it should be?

Coolsculpting caused me lumps. I tried to have them smoothed out to no avail with massage/cellulite treatment. At this salon the therapist said she saw many cases of people who "grew" from coolsculpting. (I forget the technical name for it). Hopefully that is not the case for you.

yes it's called Peripheral Adipose Hyperplasia. i got it too from coolsculpting and all the surgeons I've consulted with say I now need a full tummy tuck to correct. 5'4", only 145 pounds. Awful
July 21, 2021
Oh I have similar stats, 5'3" with 136lb. A full tummy tuck? That's not good at all :((
Does this mean that simple lipo is not enough then?

I had Cool Sculpting done on 4/1/21 as well Went in at 137 lb & I am now 144 lbs & my belly looks like yours. I have had nothing but problems since. I went in after 6 wks to show the doctor & let them know that I will NOT be doing the other 4 sessions! They did reimburse me $1800 out of $4200 that I had paid for 8 sessions. I am in so much pain that it is absolutely disgusting!!

Oh this is so similar to my situation, I am 5'3" went in with 136 lb but feel like I have gained weight from that time!

Do NOT risk it!!! 3-month post cool sculpting, grew double a size in my abdomen :((
Warmhearted198405June 27, 2021
I am right at 3-month post coolsculpting and my abdomen grew double a size. I can't even suck it in. It is disaster and I look like a 7-month pregnant women. I wish I had never had a this treatment on my abdomen! :(
Be away from this procedure on your abdomen, it can easily go wrong. I am trying to do lipo to correct the coolsculpting. It is crazy when you thin you have to do a surgery to correct a non-surgical procedure!

Agree. I'm having to research surgeons now for a tummy tuck after getting PAH. The fat overgrowth is too much for simple lipo, and I now need a major surgery and 4 weeks off work! avoid this awful procedure.
July 21, 2021
Oh gosh! That's awful! Did the surgeon says why it is a major surgery?
July 3, 2021
I had something not quite similar, more like a bump. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. In trying to reduce the lump I tried many things one a cellulite treatment and the esthetician told me she saw many women that came hugely swollen from Coolsculpt. Hope you find a good resolution.

Omg my belly looks like your post procedure pictures. And I haven’t had consulting yet! I immediately canceled my appt this week!

Thanks for sharing. Was planning to get this myself. Often times, providers will say that results are not guaranteed, but fail to talk about some of the "rare" side effects of these procedures.
